checked out northern voice - a community based blogging conference in vancouver b.c.

also met Nancy White who facilitated a couple of workshops and helps to build online communities with a strong social sensibility. really incredible work that she does. for example, the Gender & Diversity Program of the CGIAR (or, the consultative group on international agricultural research) which is a:

The alliance mobilizes agricultural sceince to reduce poverty, foster human well-being, promote agricultural growth and protect the environment. The CGIAR generates global public goods that are available to all.’
It was so inspiring to see such a wealth of projects that were using alternative new media projects to facilitate social causes & concerns + are being used to create strong communities on and offline…
